The Bernstein problem for Lipschitz intrinsic graphs in the Heisenberg group

Differential Geometry 2018-09-13 v1

Abstract

We prove that, in the first Heisenberg group H\mathbb{H}, an entire locally Lipschitz intrinsic graph admitting vanishing first variation of its sub-Riemannian area and non-negative second variation must be an intrinsic plane, i.e., a coset of a two dimensional subgroup of H\mathbb{H}. Moreover two examples are given for stressing result's sharpness.
